"Huh, I'm really a little nervous." Holding the tickets in his hands, Jiang Hai came to the first row of the basketball team's Barclays Arena. His eyes were looking around, and his nervous palms were sweating. He kept wiping it on his pants.
As for Moses Adams, although his seat is right next to Jiang Hai, he is still a lawyer after all. Even if he has a good personal relationship with Jiang Hai, he also knows a lot of people. As soon as he enters here, he greets everyone everywhere. Instead, Jiang Hai came over first and sat here. Although he had the tickets in his hand, he was really a little scared to sit here for the first time.
"Hey, this is your first time to watch a football match?" Just as Jiang Hai's eyes were looking around, a white man came over with a smile from a distance and sat next to Jiang Hai. This guy looked older than Jiang Hai is older, but probably not too much. The clothes he wears are not much different from other fans. He is also wearing a Western Conference All-Star team uniform this year. But what surprises Jiang Hai is that he is also considered a He is fully armed and dressed like this. The weather outside is very cold, so he is not afraid of freezing.
"Yeah, it's my first time to watch a game so close." I'm embarrassed to say that I've never watched an NBA game before, so I can only find an excuse, saying it's my first time to watch a game so close. Watch the game.
"Haha, then enjoy it! All-stars are not for nervousness, but for fun!" He patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile, and after hearing his words, Jiang Hai's original nervousness also relaxed a little.
"Are you Chinese?" Seeing Jiang Hai's expression, he relaxed slightly. The man was not polite and sat directly next to Jiang Hai and asked him.
"Yes." Hearing that he actually saw that he was from China, Jiang Hai was a little surprised, because in the United States, although Chinese Americans accounted for the largest proportion of all Asians, an American imperialist asked a yellow race Where people come from, most of them will say island country or Korea, and rarely ask if they are from China. Although they have no love for these two countries, the attitudes of these two countries towards the outside world are still worthy of recognition. At least they give Give others a feeling that they are very polite.
"Oh, I've been to China, which is also where I rose to prominence. I've been to Taiwan Province there. Are you from there?" Hearing that Jiang Hai was really from China, the white man became eager.
"No, Taiwan Province is the southern tip of China, and I come from the northernmost city." Shaking his head, Jiang Hai said to this person.
"Oh, that's a shame, but Taiwan is really fun. There are a lot of delicious food there. The climate is average, too hot, but the girls are very enthusiastic and their voices are fun." Jiang Hai heard This person was a little disappointed that he was not from Taiwan Province, but then he forgot about it and started talking to Jiang Hai about Taiwan Province. However, speaking of Taiwan Province, Jiang Hai had never been there...
"Hey, Pella, it's time to start warming up." Just as the man was chatting happily with Jiang Hai, a black man in the distance shouted loudly at the guy. Hearing this voice, the white man also stood up got up.
"Are you going to play in the game?" Seeing that this guy actually wanted to warm up, Jiang Hai was also a little curious.
"Yeah, after talking for so long, we can be considered friends. Remember to cheer me up later!" Seeing Jiang Hai's curious eyes, the guy couldn't help but said in awe, and then quickly ran to the court, doing Warm up shots.
At this time, Moses Adams finally finished saying hello and sat back next to Jiang Hai. He looked at the white man. He was obviously stunned. He looked at Jiang Hai and asked curiously: "Do you know Robert Pei?" pull?"
"Robert Pera? Who is it?" After hearing his words, Jiang Hai thought about it carefully, as if he didn't know this person.
"That's the guy who just talked to you. He is the owner of the Grizzlies, Robert Pera, a diamond king in the IT industry." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Moses Adams couldn't help complaining in his heart. He didn't recognize him. Are you so happy chatting with others
Seeing Moses Adams' appearance, Jiang Hai smiled slightly awkwardly. It would be better to have someone chatting with him than sitting here alone! But after hearing what Moses Adams said, he still took out his phone and checked it.
As a result of this investigation, Jiang Hai was shocked. This Robert Perot is really a very powerful person. Compared with Jiang Hai, who has a golden finger, he has risen up with his true ability. This man was born in 1977 , only eleven years older than Jiang Hai.
In 2003, he joined Apple as a hardware engineer and was responsible for WIFI base station related work.
I resigned in 2005. I used US$30,000 as start-up capital to make a sample in my apartment. It was a perfect example of a white wolf with nothing to gain, relying on this sample and a website.
After he received 3,000 pre-ordered systems and an advance payment of US$240,000, he flew to Taiwan Province, where he found a hardware vendor and built his current main product, wireless network equipment. It's faster to pick a name.
After being listed on the Nasdaq in 2011, he has been out of control. Now his net worth is as high as 9.2 billion US dollars.
He is the famous diamond king in the United States. Seeing this number, Jiang Hai smacked his teeth, 9.2 billion! Well, at least he doesn't have to think about it in recent years. The reason why he became a player is, firstly, because of his identity, and secondly, because he is now the owner of the Grizzlies. The rise is inseparable from him.
Sometimes it is indeed very happy for an NBA team to have an owner who loves basketball.
Whether it's Mark Cuban or Robert Pera, at least they are willing to invest money in the team.
"Who else is in this Masters?" After reading Robert Pera's introduction, Jiang Hai touched Moses Adams next to him with his elbow and asked him. Although he didn't know these people, Moses Adams But he is familiar with them all.
"Ahem, have you seen those two people on the Eastern coaching bench?" Hearing Jiang Hai's doubts, Moses Adams also said with a smile.
"I know those two, Carmelo Anthony and Spike Lee. I also watched the live broadcast, okay?" He rolled his eyes at Moses Adams. As one of the top superstars in the NBA, Jiang Hai can still connect with Anthony. Don’t even New York’s big fan Spike Lee know
"Haha, you know the ones from the East, but you definitely don't know the ones from the West. The coaches over there are the two hosts of ESPN's Mike and Mike show, Mike Grich and Mike Greenber. The black man over there is Kay. Vin Hart is an actor who has played roles in Meet the Father-in-Law and Scream." After a slightly embarrassed smile, Moses Adams immediately introduced the others.
Sure enough, apart from these two people, Jiang Hai really didn't know anyone else. He knew about Screaming Laughter, but he only had some impression of the heroine in it, and he had no impression of the others, let alone this one. Black people.
"That's Anthony Anderson, he's also an actor, and he's also played in Scream... That's Ansel Elgort, and he's played Carrie. Although his acting skills aren't that good, he's handsome, tsk tsk, that's Chadwick Boseman is also an actor, but I guess you haven’t seen his performance... That Asan native is Abhishek Bachchan, known as the Brad Pitt of Bollywood, but he I haven't seen any of the movies he acted in, and I guess you haven't either. There are also some famous NBA stars. The uncle over there is Chris Mullin, and that's Alan Houston, who was New York's mid-range shooting king. There are WNBA players..." With the introduction of Moses Adams, Jiang Hai had a general understanding of these people.
Basically, the Masters is just a fun game, and no one takes it too seriously.
In addition to celebrities from all walks of life, the participants are retired NBA stars, or WNBA stars who need to increase their popularity. It is precisely because of this that the number of spectators entering the Masters Game is not too many, and the attendance rate is only It only barely reached 60%. During the game, except for the occasional cheers, there were no other cheers.
In the end, the Western Celebrity Team won the game 57-51. Jiang Hai just sat here and watched the fun.
He often does things with three minutes of enthusiasm. Think about when he was watching others playing basketball, he built a basketball court by himself when he went back. As a result, after the basketball court was repaired, although he occasionally went to practice, he still Not too concerned.
After all, his physical fitness is there now. As long as he can practice dribbling well, he will crush everyone in one-on-one situations. This is inevitable. He has no plans to enter the NBA, so he can just play for a while. .
Through fan voting, this game finally got fifteen points. Well, in a game with a total of fifty-seven points, fifteen points is indeed a rare high score. Kevin with fifteen points and two rebounds - Hart was named MVP of the Masters Game for the fourth consecutive time.
It looks like he's also flying high! After everyone in the Masters Game bowed to the audience on the sidelines, they also returned to the locker room. Of course, the court did not remain silent, but instead performed a cheerleading dance.
The cheerleading team for this NBA All-Star Game is mainly composed of two teams. One is the Brooklyn Nets. After all, it is still their home court, and the other is the New York Knicks. So just from the appearance In terms of value, these girls are quite good-looking. After their hot dance performances, it is the first round of the official All-Star Game, the All-Star Rookie Game! Before the rookie game started, the rookies participating in this session also came to the court to warm up.
The attendance rate on the sidelines, which was originally less than 60%, is also increasing rapidly. Watching some celebrities play basketball is definitely not as comfortable as watching official players play basketball, even if these players are still just rookies.
But there is no guarantee that among these rookies, there will be no future All-Stars. At the same time, the most important reason is because the ticket prices for the rookie games are much cheaper than those for the main games. Some people who have time will also come and take a look.
